The new crossover Hyundai Santa Fe is completely declassified. The new Hyundai Santa Fe is the fourth generation of recognition of the Hyundai santa fe configuration

Back in 2015, the Korean company Hyundai announced the official price tags for the updated Santa Fe SUV. Some time later, the leaders decided to present a modified version of the cross - Hyundai Grand Santa Fe 2017-2018 in a new body (photo, configuration, specifications, prices, video and test drive). This model is the largest among the range of the company, and its interior is designed for six passengers and a driver.

The increase in the number of seats is not the only change Korean. The rigidity of the giant's body has increased by 15% compared to the regular version.

On the territory of Russia, the model will be offered with two engines:

  • petrol engine with six cylinders and a volume of 3.0 liters with a return of 249 horses;
  • diesel unit with a volume of 2.2 liters with a return of 200 horses.

Works with any power unit automatic transmission 6 speed gears. It is expected that the diesel version of the car will be more popular than petrol, at least in the EU.

On diesel engine acceleration to 100 km per hour will take place in 9.9 seconds, and the consumption is only 7.8 liters in mixed mode.

The petrol unit is a bit quicker. Acceleration to "hundredths" occurs in 9.2 seconds, but in terms of efficiency, the gasoline engine is inferior to the diesel one. Consumption is an average of 10.5 liters.

4 wheel drive. Of the advantages, a decent ground clearance can be distinguished, but the whole impression is spoiled by a drawback. Plastic elements (bumper, door sills) are located very close to the ground, so the Korean is more like a minivan than an SUV.

It is worth noting that the front part of the body has changed the most. Especially worth noting are the LED blocks that are located along the edges of the front bumper. They simultaneously perform the function of foglights and running lights. The radiator grille has increased. Now it has more horizontal chrome stripes. The headlights are also LED. It shines brightly and at the same time does not blind drivers of oncoming cars.

The rear of the Hyundai Grand Santa Fe 2017-2018 in a new body has not been modified much. However, the lanterns were restyled, which received a different pattern, a bumper with foglights and exhaust pipes. On a rectangular door luggage compartment you can see a very small and neat spoiler. Due to the large size of the door, access to the compartment itself is not cluttered.

On the side, the Korean looks fresh and modern. Especially neat look designer alloy wheels 18" or 19" (optional). Like the regular version, the novelty has sporty features, but it also has solidity and originality.

The interior of the novelty has not changed much compared to its predecessor. What is the cost of the center console. Here all the buttons remained in the same place, and the architecture was not touched. Of the main changes, it is possible to note the installed large display of the multimedia system with a size of 8 inches. Next to it are carbon fiber inserts.

Already in the minimum configuration, all seats and other soft elements are covered with pleasant, genuine leather. Leather upholstery even last row seats. By the way, seated passengers in the third row will feel very comfortable thanks to the large space and their own, separate air conditioning. But the seven-seater saloon had a negative impact on the volume of the trunk. In its normal state, its size is only 383 liters, but by removing the third row, the space increases to 1,159 liters, and if you also fold the backs of the second row, then the trunk volume will become even larger - 2,265 liters.

Hyundai Grand Santa Fe 2017-2018. Prices

So, diesel version the car will cost from 2,424 thousand rubles to 2,724 thousand rubles. The petrol version is more expensive - from 2,674 to 2,774 thousand rubles.

The rigidity of the body was increased by 15 percent through the use of high-strength steel. Now, instead of the hydraulic power steering, there will be an electric version. As for all-wheel drive, there were rumors that now the model will be rear-wheel drive, and front-wheel drive will connect as needed. In this regard, nothing has changed - the front-wheel drive acts as the main one, and rear axle coupler connects. If previously they installed an electro-hydraulic clutch that did not have a good reaction speed, now the latest HTRAC electric clutch will stand.

So far, only Korean prices for the novelty are known. There, the model has risen in price from the base 24,700 to 25,800 dollars.

True, you can order such a crossover only with a gasoline engine.

If you want a diesel, then you need to order the Lifestyle version at a price of 2,159,000 rubles and pay another 170,000 for a heavy-fuel engine. But there will already be fully LED optics, a leather interior, an audio system with a 7-inch color screen and support for AppleCarPlay / AndroidAuto, a rearview camera, front parking sensors and a keyless entry system.

For Rs. in the presence of vehicles approaching from behind.

The new Hyundai Santa Fe 2018 surprises with its design and attracts with options, the wrapper still turned out to be catchy, and what a soul this handsome man has. Will it let you down, for example, on slippery ground, if you call yourself an all-terrain vehicle? The strategy of the Hyundai-Kia concern in last years- to make a bright and equipped car at a competitive price. Alas, not always pretty design and premium options are combined with a well-tuned chassis. About what impressions the new Hyundai Santa Fe 2018 leaves in general, read in our test drive.

Video test introducing the new 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe below, specifications at the end of the article.

Please vote for the new Hyundai Santa Fe 2018, move the MPS Index cursor on the scale that we offer at the beginning and at the end of the article.

Design wins over functionality

At first I liked the new design of the front end. Narrow stripe on top - exclusively running lights. Even the matte silver molding across the car is not intimidating - the new 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe is designed by a European design studio and it has an aesthetic.

Everyone can judge the design of the Hyundai Santa Fe for himself, but you can’t argue that it is catchy. The basis of the composition, of course, is optics. Alas, it doesn't work as well as it looks.

There was a problem with the lights. You expect that the turn signal will be in a block with LEDs and may even be running in the latest fashion, and it blinks sadly at the bottom of the bumper. Diode headlights upset even more - the dipped beam is frankly weak on all three cars that I drove. Electronics adequately controls the high beam and it is not bad at moderate speeds, but driving faster than 50 km / h with low beam is not comfortable. So, when planning a trip, try to make the road fall during the daytime.

The new Hyundai Santa Fe 2018 knows how to level the body and loves asphalt

It is better to choose roads for a trip with asphalt. The suspension is almost impenetrable in the pits, but on the waves the new Santa Fe 2018 dances and forces you to steer. There are no problems on even asphalt - the crossover rides like a real German battleship. Moreover, the cabin is absolutely silent up to 180 km / h, when a noticeable rumble from the rails appears.

If the trunk of your Santa Fe is loaded and rear axle sags, then after 3 km of the way the system will automatically trim the position of the body.

From the outside, the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe looks brand new and technically heavily redesigned. To improve vehicle behavior, rear shock absorbers now installed vertically, but most importantly - they received the function of automatically maintaining ground clearance. The shock absorbers have a predetermined level, and if the car sank during loading, then on the go the body will return to its original position due to specially tuned bypass valves. No flimsy pneuma or electronics. It can take up to two kilometers to level the car, but the more bumps, the faster the Santa Fe will rise. A similar trick used to be used by Subaru.

Motors from the previous Santa Fe - gasoline or turbodiesel

The range of motors is well known. There are two of them: gasoline and turbodiesel. The 2.4-liter petrol received direct fuel injection and two drive belt instead of one. Due to this, power and torque increased, but a good appetite remained. With active driving, it consumes 15 liters of 92 per 100 km. Consumption is not proportional to the dynamics: in the foothills of Kyrgyzstan, it lags behind the diesel Santa.

If you want more dynamics in the character of your new Hyundai Santa Fe, choose a turbodiesel. Gasoline can only offer a quiet ride.

The more dynamic diesel Hyundai Santa Fe 2018 is also more economical - it fits into 8.5 liters, and if you take your time and drive along the highway, then 6.5 liters. It is also helped by a new 8-speed automatic with a higher degree of transformer blocking. The characteristic diesel rumble is heard only at the moment the engine is started. When the engine warms up, it is not audible at all. The maximum speed is over 200 km / h, but more importantly, at city speeds, the diesel Santa Fe picks up speed more readily than the gasoline one, and you are more confident in overtaking it. But you will have to pay extra for the dynamics when buying: a diesel engine fits into more expensive versions. Gasoline is available in medium and initial versions.

Salon to match the appearance - looks modern

The interior architecture is Korean: the panel has many floors and smooth lines. A seven-inch screen and brown leather add to the high cost, but they will not be in the initial configuration.

A notable step forward in interior trim. Only the basic version has fabric, all the rest are covered with leather. The eight-inch multimedia is fast and has good graphics. In the top, it is complemented by Krell acoustics. Previously, its place was occupied by Infinity (do not confuse with car brand, whose last letter is i). Now the Koreans have switched to the Krell brand, which, by the way, is used by the Acura brand. Wherein auto mode For some reason, only the driver's power window has it.

In the new generation, the Hyundai Santa Fe has grown the trunk. Its volume is from 328 to 2019 liters.

Surcharge for the third row of seats 50 thousand rubles.

The supply of space on the second row is sufficient. But on the third it will be comfortable only for children.

Hyundai Santa Fe feature - safety

But in what Santa Fe has surpassed all its direct and indirect competitors - this is the concern for the safety of children in the cabin. Adaptive cruise with tracking of road markings is no surprise now. Yes, electronics sometimes panics in regular situations, when planning to overtake you accelerate in your own lane and go into the oncoming one. But the electronics interfere only with a squeak and do not try to slow down. In the parking lot, Santa will warn you with a squeak if a passing car drives from the side. In case of danger, the system will not allow either the driver or passengers to open the doors. Well, if you happen to forget a pet or a child in the cabin, a motion sensor will work in a locked car, and Hyundai will notify others that perhaps someone needs help in his cabin.

Off-road only dacha

This level of off-road is the maximum to be expected from the new Hyundai Santa Fe 2018. Yes, the drive is all-wheel drive, but it is plug-in, and the overhangs are large. Ground clearance 18.5 cm.

For serious off-road, the new Hyundai Santa Fe 2018 is not suitable - the overhangs are large, the bumpers hang low. The ground clearance is only 18.5 cm. One can only hope for black lining at the bottom of the bumper, which in expensive versions are also supplemented with silver inserts and all-wheel drive with the possibility of forced locking of the drive clutch rear wheels. There is an assistant descent, but it's more of a toy. Santa gets out of the diagonal posting, but with a noticeable effort, so it’s better to get to more serious adventures on foot. Moreover, the new Hyundai Santa Fe 2018 is equipped with completely road tires.

Partly on country off-road Hyundai Santa Fe helps matte plastic - a practical solution.

New Hyundai Santa Fe 2018 from 1,999,000 to 2,849,000 rubles

The price for the basic version of Santa Fe starts at 1,999 thousand. For the money you get all-wheel drive, Gas engine 2.4 with automatic and cruise control, but without a rearview camera, leather and color multimedia. For a leather interior, a 7-inch color screen and other options, you will have to pay 160 thousand rubles.

Despite the large size of the car, the designers were able to avoid an overweight silhouette.

Version from diesel engine in a similar configuration it will cost 170 thousand more, but it is more powerful, more economical and boasts a new 8-speed automatic.

Premier equipment costs from 2,329 thousand and has heating rear seats, LED headlights, partially digital instrument panel and 18-inch wheels. The top-end High-Tech variant is only available with a diesel, so it costs 2,699 thousand already. It includes an extended set of power driver's seat, a 10-speaker Krell audio system and other advanced options. For 80 thousand, you can order the Exclusive package for it: a glass roof and a projection on the windshield, as well as a third row of seats for 50,000 rubles. Or you can spend 2,849 thousand and get everything possible options immediately in the configuration Black & Brown.

In rich trim levels, the devices will be half electronic. In simple configurations - ordinary arrows.

Also, for a surcharge, you can buy Smart Sense packages (90,000 rubles) with adaptive cruise and auto braking and a third row of seats (50,000 rubles).

The brightest element of the car from the stern is the rear lights.

In the Russian market, seven-seater diesel crossovers are offered only by Hyundai, Kia, Skoda. a little cheaper, but more modest in size and develops only 150 horses, against 200 for Korean brothers. Most likely, it is with the Sorento Prime that the new Santa Fe will have to compete. Larger

The spare is under the car.

However, the Hyundai Santa Fe can be considered a 7-seater rather conditionally - the third row is suitable only for children. Adults will sit with their heads bowed, as the roof presses on them, and there will be room for knees only if the second-row passengers move their row forward a little. Fortunately, the sled has a huge range. In the 5-seat version, Santa looks like the perfect traveler. The trunk is roomy, it does not sag under load, and in the event of a puncture, the spare wheel hangs under the floor and you do not have to unload luggage.
